At the Convergence of Mothers event held at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra, veteran gospel singer Amy Newman offered a deeply personal reflection on the intersection of motherhood and ministry.
Opening up about the early years of her music career, she shared how her desire to serve in church led her to make choices she now sees differently. "I prayed to God saying, 'God, you know I don't have anyone.
Who will teach me how to bring up these children?'" she recalled. "Some suggested I hire maids.
I thought I had a ministry, so I would leave my children with maids and go out there."
